You know Scotty, he always has a million dollar idea. Not that he does anything with them, but they are fun. His latest is to digitally edit famous sports plays so they come out the way the fans on the losing end wished they had. In the new version, Red Sox fan’s will see Billy […]
Bobby and Joy have been digging out a corner of their yard that a small trickle of a creek runs through. On an earlier visit John had helped make a bridge to go across it so it was the main thing he looked forward to when returning. We made sure to pack his boots and […]
We were sad not to make our annual pilgrimage to Lynn and John’s Lake House to see our Star Island friends. But we had a softball tournament, Joy is too pregnant to travel, Carey is moving this weekend, and Lynn and John were worn out by guests staying over after a wedding. We made up […]
Scotty watches a softball game pretty intently, often on his feet, and always with an eye on what should be done on the next play. The only time he missed anything this weekend was to go off and check the Fort Hunt team. (Caitlin is playing on the Mount Vernon team which consists of half […]

For most of the school year John would refuse to walk more than 100 yards past the end of the school property. He would wait by the stop sign until we came to pick him up. And wait and wait if necessary. But then a couple of months ago he discovered walking home with Fiona […]

his trainer and jockey both have great back stories, […]
